Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Solyc03g120910
• Gene Symbol: SlLOB1
• Gene Name: ripening–specific transcription factor
• Genome: Tomato Genome version SL4.0
• Species: Solanum lycopersicum

Functional Descriptions:

• A tomato fruit ripening–specific transcription factor, SlLOB1 predominantly influences fruit cell wall–related gene regulation and textural changes during fruit maturation and thus is distinct from broadly acting ripening transcription factors described to date that influence many ripening processes.
• SlLOB1 is an intermediate regulator primarily influencing a physiological subdomain of the overall ripening transition.
• SlLOB1 repression in transgenic fruit impedes softening, while overexpression throughout the plant under the direction of the 35s promoter confers precocious induction of cell wall gene expression and premature softening.
• A tomato LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES transcription factor, SlLOB1, predominantly regulates cell wall and softening components of ripening
